Rainy Days and Mondays

Ya know, I’m getting so sick of these storms; especially when they interfere with Michael’s travel home.  He’s due in tomorrow. He arrives at the airport too late to fly home and there is no ferry on Tuesdays. So now I’m back to searching for a boat.

Speaking of searching, one of our community members is lost in the woods so please keep him in your prayers. He went hunting on another island, alone, and didn’t return. There is a search party out looking for him. I’m worried because he just lost his re-election campaign and has a history of suicide attempts. Granted, he was drinking and using drugs at the time and he doesn’t do that anymore, but it’s still a part of who he is.

My weekend was pretty good. I wasn’t as busy as I had anticipated because I managed to give Lindsey back to her mother on Friday night. We did not go to the carnival. I couldn’t talk her into it. I tried up until the last minute. We watched the Disney Channel until it was time for her to go home.

We had a nice potluck yesterday. I didn’t bring my camera, though. It was a good sized crowd even though there were a lot with conflicting plans. I let Lindsey talk me into making mini-meatloaves and I must say she was right. I was embarrassed to admit they were mine after people started commenting on them.

I had a nice visit with my Aunt Laurena. She’s actually Michael’s aunt, too. She is my father-in-law’s sister who happened to marry my Uncle Buster. Michael and I fight over her now. Whenever one of us mentions Aunt Laurena, the other one will say, “You mean MY Aunt Laurena?” She makes the best Mexican Jam and we get a jar every Christmas.

I think I have Michael talked into taking me to Town this weekend. I want to buy the ingredients I’ll need for my Christmas cookies and fudge. That way, I can have my cookies all done by the time he gets here and he can make his bread. He doesn’t come home for Christmas until the 22nd so he’ll have to bake all day on the 23rd.

I better get this posted so I can concentrate on these kids. It’s 3rd grade and for some reason, they need a lot of attention today.

I hope tomorrow goes better than planned and finding a boat is no trouble at all. Good luck to the missing man too.

Bless both of you as you prepare for the Holiday and to spend TONS of time with each other.

**hugs**

I'm always so giddy thinking of how relieved and at peace you are when M is home.

Sending tons of prayers for you!
